Pros

Some brilliant people have joined the company in the last 18 months across a range of departments. Loyal, talented colleagues remain. Positive investment in new skills and talent. Enjoy working with this team a great deal. Enthusiastic, enterprising people appear to be rewarded and do well. Loyalty is valued highly. Senior managers seem to welcome feedback, ideas and appear to act on it where possible. Strong belief in the company's purpose. Ongoing improvements to working environment Pity to see some reviews from few grumbling ex-colleagues no longer with FCS. I have been an employee at this company for several years. Uncharacteristic of any manager I know to ask for or post 'phony' reviews. These are more likely from committed employees, many I know enjoy a lot about their job at FCS and are keen to support the team.

Cons

Somewhat unique and dynamic culture - possible cause of some turnover. Continue working to improve use of technology.

Pros

The company's mission it to creative positive impact and value, and they deliver on that both externally and internally. Working on projects that support responsible growth and development and advance the UN SDGs means that we can all take pride in our daily contributions. And, with remote work options and an open forum for career development, the company is invested in creating a positive impact in the team's lives. Despite having employees across many time zones, there are opportunities to connect virtually for "water cooler" time.

Cons

The US and larger global organization cover a wide range of brands, products, and service offerings, so it can be challenging to keep up with what other teams are working on as we get busy on individual projects. Learn Over Lunches and internal newsletters help to bridge those gaps.

Pros

Positive environment. I feel like I’m part of a team even though everyone is virtual. I appreciate the autonomy and responsibility given to me and that there is support when needed. Lots of highly trained experts in their fields to parter with and all are friendly; however’ it can be hard to schedule time with them. Management does a great job checking in with team members.

Cons

Deadlines are tight and expectations are high. Benefits are not extensive. Sometimes project directors are too deferential to clients.
